Rangers are eager to turn page from last season and get a fresh start
The New York Rangers open training camp eager to put their last-place finish in the Eastern Conference last season behind them. General manager Chris Drury was active during the summer, acquiring goal-scoring winger Pavel Dorofeyev and defensemen Sean Durzi and Marcus Pettersson and trading away Vincent Trocheck. He hopes more organizational depth will help after injuries to franchise goaltender Igor Shesterkin and No. 1 defenseman Adam Fox sunk the Rangers in 2025-26.
Holdovers who went through the losing are energized by the new faces and a chance for a fresh start.
